   @lina @cyan I'm in a happy relationship and try to be as open about what does work for us as what doesn't work for us. It's healthy to understand what a relationship takes rather than how to ruin it, otherwise you spend the entire time walking on eggshells or scared to get into one.
   
   My grandparents were married for over 70 years. The best advice I got for a relationship was a simple line I overheard my grandmother say: "marriage is hard work." But you do get out what you put in.

     @mrsaturday @lina @cyan my mom's advice was "lower your expectations." popular representation of love and relationships is idealized and harmful

     @sun @cyan @lina That's the truth and pretty good advice. That's not to say that it's not fulfilling, but there's a definite difference between love and romance.
